Walkhampton Church House cross is a medieval wayside cross situated on the east side of Church House, approximately 650 metres north-east of Walkhampton village on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument is of fourteenth-century date and represents a typical example of the wayside crosses that marked routes and boundaries across the moorland landscape. The cross survives as a stone shaft mounted on a base, though the head has been lost, a pattern common among Devon's upland crosses. Such crosses functioned as navigational markers and points of assembly for the local community during the medieval period.
